WARP FRONTIER REVIEW BLUETOOTH
There is no navigation system in sight, but the Bluetooth option is well integrated into the system, and you'll find this very basic system easy and simple to use. Overall, there are 10 speakers and a subwoofer, which is way more than necessary for a pickup truck, even with a five-passenger cab. The 2012 Nissan Frontier’s Rockford Fosgate entertainment system is the same found in Mitsubishi and Suzuki vehicles. It feels like sitting on a padded park bench. As far as overall comfort goes, it’s still 100% pickup truck! The seats are OK, but forget bucket seats and thigh support. Sound damping in the 2012 Nissan Frontier is acceptable, making the truck as easy on the ears as riding in a sedan. Control buttons were added to the wheel and a smidgen of finish was added to the dash - but as far as everything else is concerned, we are trapped in time warp. The interior hasn’t really changed and the steering wheel’s hard plastic finish remains tacky. It’s five years later, and we’re still knee-deep in a plethora of cheap plastic in the 2012 Nissan Frontier. In fact, I found it quite nimble around town.
WARP FRONTIER REVIEW FULL
With its speed-sensitive rack and pinion power-assist steering, you really don’t have the impression that you need two full rotations of the wheel to turn a corner. This is exactly what you would expect from a small, van-type vehicle.Īs far as the handling in the 2012 Frontier goes, it’s all very Nissan. This is what you want when it's time to haul heavy loads… On the other hand, driving around town can become a bit bumpy, although not painfully so. Although the front suspension is independent, the rear suspension is of the solid-axle variety. The suspension in the 2012 Nissan Frontier is fit for a school bus. There's no need to stop and no automatic mode that keeps cycling between 2- and 4-wheel drive. And best of all, you can switch to four-wheel drive on the move. It's very simple and consists of a round switch that you turn to make the selection. I loved the 2012 Nissan Frontier’s 4X4 drive mode selector.
The Chevrolet Colorado cranks out 242 horsepower from its 5-cylinder 3.7L engine. The Honda Ridgeline gets 250 hp out of its 3.5L V6, while the Toyota Tacoma squeezes 236 hp from its 4.0L V6. The overall output of this engine is quite reasonable when you compare it with its main competitors. These numbers are high for a truck that had only itself to haul around, although it can tow up to 6,100 lbs. With its 4.0L V6 producing 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, the Frontier Pro-4X delivers fuel efficiency numbers of 14L/100km city and 12.5L/100km highway.
The 2012 Nissan Frontier is a compact that is as much at home on everyday city drives as it is on construction sites. The approach is more sedan than truck, but we are comfortable imagining it in both urban and commercial use. Goodbye motley-coloured plastic panels and overdone chrome plating! There is an overall robust impression that is mitigated by the tasteful blending of the different bumper colors with the sheet metal. In my opinion, Nissan's design team has done an excellent job. Its distinct style is pleasing to the eye. Despite its miniature size, my wallet still felt the pain whenever it was time for a fill-up… After I drove the 2012 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, I admit that this compact pickup, with its barely 5' long standard box, looks like a mouse scampering past Ford F-150s's on the road.
